Frequently asked questions
What is Pig Latin?
Pig Latin is a language game traditionally played by children in the United States and other English-speaking countries. It dates back to at least the 19th century. Words are rearranged according to a simple set of rules to create a version of English that sounds like a foreign language to the uninitiated.
Is it a real language?
No - it is a word game or argot, not a language. It has no native speakers and no grammar beyond the transformation rules. Its purpose is fun, secrecy among friends, or playful obfuscation.
Why does it use -ay and -yay?
The standard rules add -ay to consonant-starting words and -yay (or -way in some traditions) to vowel-starting words. This keeps all transformed words ending in a vowel sound, which gives Pig Latin its characteristic rhythm.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
